THE POPE'S WEB.

There is certain clement in Italy and
a respectable element in the Catholic
world all over the globe that is anxious
to see the Pope once more vested With
the temporal power of his predecess ors
or some of them at least. The papsl
states have long been considered tn.
property OF the sovereign poutif and eff
forts more or less vigorous have been made
with view of restoring 10 him these
temporalities. From an uninterested, or
we Will say, Protestsns, standpoint, II
cannot be urged that the effort being made
to restore temporal power to the
Pope Is wise or prudent. While we all
admire and honor the man as ont
OF the most conservative and wises,
state sfnen In Europe-who has done more
perhaps for the preservation of the peace
of Europe than any other man-9e can
not agree that temporal power is at an
necessary to his dignity, or to the bes,
interests of the church which he repre-.
sents with so much piety aud distin-
guished ability. Good Catholics believe
that the Pope of Rome is Cnrist's vicar
on earth; he is supreD'e pontih in regular
and unbroken succession from St. Peter,
and temporal power is altogether
foreign to his mission. The low
and humble Nazsrene was u0s "a
temporal prince. Unlike the foxss'

the air that had nests, ".he son ofnan

THE government experiments this year
in Masking sugar from sorghum are said
to have been very successful. On fair
soil the yield of cane was an average OF
twelve tons. The average yield of sugar
per acre WAS about 1900 pounds aud of
syrup $50 gallons. It is claimed that at
this rate, even at the present low price {
sugar, the business of Masking sugar from
sorghum would be very profitable.

The Saloon Must Go!
A Costly Lecture.

The inquest over the Baltimore
and Ohio wreck at Tiffin, estab-
fishes the fact as suspected that
the conductor and engineer were
in a drunken stupor. This is a
sorry spree, and the shrieks and
writhing of the dying victims
should haunt them to their graves.
Such a temperance lecture is very
costly. But it will argue more for
the cause of temperance than doz-
en- St. Johns Wheeling Register.
We submit that it is entirely out
of place for the Register to vent its
partisan spleen over the mangled
victims of the Tiffin disaster, which
was caused by the Demon of Rum,
which it dares not oppose. And
besides, the logic of its untimely re-
mark argues that it prefers the
Tiffin sort of costly Temperance
lectures, to those that would pro
hibH the cause and prevent such dis.
asters.

CAPITOL DOTS.
Our Home Defenders.

In due time the Freeman will
delight to point out for admiration
and honor our brave home defend
ers in the Legislature. There are
so many here who are eager for
every Legislative fray where the
Home and Saloon join issue, that
it were hard to mention names
without wronging others.
In the Senate, Messrs. Morris,
Dawson, McCreery, Snyder, Max
we'll, Brown and others may be
mentioned as among those who are
at the front in Temperance legisla-
tion, and while Messrs. Sommerville,
Price, Flournoy and others were
strangely and unaccountably array
ed against the Amendment, they
are active for severer restrictions
against the infamous traffic.
In the House it would be much
easier to pick out the Homes
enemies than its friends, because
of their conspicuous scarcity.
The little coterie from Wheeling
are about all that have the cour-
age to stand up and face the de-
mands of the people. Mr.. Lucas,
who led the fight against the
Amendment two years ago seems
to have made up his mind to let
the inevitable have its way. Mr..
Reynolds of Mercer led the Amend.
ment triumphantly through the
House, and Messrs. Gorrell and Nc
Whorter, with more than two score
of brave men at their back are
rushing to the rescue with the
Prohibitory act.
Let the Freeman readers look
out for a storm. The cyclones
coming.
The Saloon Must Go!

John WalruH Routed.

John Walruff, the Kansas brew
er, who has so boldly defied the
Prohibitory law, has been routed
at last. This same great big job n
Walruff, who thought he was big
ger than the laws of his country,
was the other day put under bond
of 81, 900 for selling beer in Tope-
ka. John Walruff is now an exile
from Kansas to escape the clutches
OF the Court under an indictment
for selling liquor contrary to law.
These fellows will find after
awhile that there's something else
in this country as big and strong
rs a big, puffsd up brewer boss.
